1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir to combine.

3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low.
4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
5
Fluff the Rice
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.

6
Add Sugar and Lime Zest
Stir in the sugar and lime zest into the cooked rice until well combined.
7
Garnish (Optional)
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving for an added flavor.
